Select all that apply. Which statements about what Magna Carta set out are correct?

  1. It stated that the king himself was bound by certain rules and customsRespuesta correcta
  2. It created a democratic system of government for England
  3. It placed limits on taxation levied without the consent of those taxedRespuesta correcta
  4. It said that a free man should not be imprisoned without lawful judgementRespuesta correcta
  5. It gave the same legal rights to every person living in the kingdom

Explicación

The document worked by naming customs the crown had broken and requiring the ruler to observe them, above all when taking money and when seizing or gaoling men without process. The democratic reading fails because the settlement was made between a king and his leading landholders and left most of the population outside the protections it named.
